Stade Rennais FC is set for a friendly match against Laval this Friday, October 2nd, with kick-off at 17:00 UTC. The fixture comes on the heels of a heavy 4-0 away defeat to Lyon on September 19th, a result that mars a recent run of mixed form.
The starting XI deployed in Lyon in a 4-1-4-1 formation featured B. Samba, P. Frankowski, C. Cresswell, A. Ait Boudlal, Q. Merlin, V. Rongier, A. Nordin, A. Thomasson, M. Camara, Eliezer Mayenda, and B. Dia. Over the last five matches, the record stands at one win, one draw, and three losses. The most recent victory was a 1-0 home win over Marseille on September 11th.
Against Laval, the objective is to regain rhythm before the league resumes. Today's opponent is also struggling for form, with just one win in their last five outings.
With the international break looming, this outing is particularly valuable for the Stade Rennais FC squad. The team's top scorer in the league this season, E. Lepaul with three goals, will be looked to to reignite the attack. The match will be played at the Stade Francis-Le-Basser. The next fixture is away to Laval on 2026-10-02.
